Out of nowhere, a figure approaches behind Furion, a prophet from the Sentinel.

"Ah, you are here.." said Furion to the figure.

"The shadows have called, and led me here" said the figure.

The figure was Rikimaru, the Stealth Assassin. A master satyr that was raised to kill, for a reason.

"We must destroy the scourge. Once and for all." said Furion.

"But what of me? Am I to mission alone?" said Rikimaru

"Do not worry, we will go back to base camp to meet your allies whom of which, you will be taking to your mission" replied Furion.

~~~~Later at base camp~~~~

"Gentlemen, here is Rikimaru, the Stealth Assassin. He will be assisting us in future battles and your current mission. Introduce yourselves, brief the mission to Rikimaru, and good luck." said Furion, as he left. No one knowing where he goes.

"I am Azwraith. I am a Phantom Lancer, me and my spear are excited to see you battle." said a figure holding a spear that appeared behind Rikimaru.

"How did you....?" said Rikimaru

"A dopplewalk, simple as it sounds, its quite hard to do. It costs me alot of energy." replied Azwraith.

"A Satyr! A Satyr indeed! If that's the case, you and I will go along just fine, Rikimaru! Just fine!" said a draenai wielding dual blades whom was beside Azwraith's dopplewalk, which vanished after a few moments.

"Ah! I've heard that Draenai and Satyrs share a long history as allies. We have served each other well in past wars. I look forward to working with you"

"I am Gondar, by the way. I am a bounty hunter. I've got a huge bounty for the Lich King's ice" said the Draenai.

"You are a little warrior, joining a big battlefield. Your bravery alone stands enough that you are worthy to destroy the Lich King. I am the squad leader of this group. I am Daelin Proudmoore, a past Admiral." said a muscular man in pirate clothing. Wielding a sword that's edges were covered with water, which didn't seem to fall.He named it, the Tidebringer.

"Do not underestimate me Daelin. But thank you, for the welcome." said Rikimaru.

After that, a lightning bolt struck the ground, and appeared before it, was a dwarf looking figure.

"Aye, what seems to be the commotion ere?" said the small figure, but larger than Rikimaru, for sure.

"Ah, you are here. Rikimaru, meet the Lord of Olympia. Zeus" said Daelin.

"A God? I'm surprised why you haven't won this war yet. But nonetheless, pleased to meet you. Zeus" said Rikimaru

"Aye aye, you too lad. I lost some of me strength when I sacrificed my immortality to be able to destroy the undead scourge, but aye. I failed and my powers have weakened." replied Zeus.

"Anyway, we begin mission briefing tomorrow. Everyone, prepare everything you need and have a good rest. We'll begin the mission briefing tomorrow...and the mission itself. This is a matter of life and death. Be prepared" ordered Daelin.

After which, they all split up preparing they're materials.

They all went to sleep. As they slept, dawn came too fast.

Chapter 1

"What?! End this now! I will not accept this!" said Zeus.

"It is my real mission. The Daelin you knew, he died. Long ago. I am now just a "spectre" of his body" said...Daelin?

"I will not accept this!" shouted Zeus.Zeus swung his hammer downwards and suddenly, a blue bolt came down from the sky, moving towards Daelin.

Zeus was surprised that Daelin was not affected.

"Nice try. Have you forgotten that Daelin's clothing protects him from magic? Daelin's hood to be exact. The hood of defiance." said Daelin

Zeus was shocked(lol) from this. He took out a dagger from his pocket and threw it away from Daelin. It was Kelen's Dagger. The fastest assassin in the land. The dagger landed, and Zeus suddenly appeared at the dagger's location. He picked the dagger up, and ran for his life.

"I have to find Furion..." whispered Zeus to himself.

As Zeus ran, the ground beneath him started to bubble. To his surprise, water blasted before the ground, as if a geyser was there. The water pierced through his armor, and made him fly above the sky. He loked down, he saw Daelin and closed his eyes. He knew he was dead.

"Goodbye, old fool" said Daelin.

Zeus landed, and Daelin raised the Tidebringer, and soon, the sword was covered with blood.

Afterwhich, he slashed himself...for proof purposes.

He covered his wound with bandages. He went back to the base for the mission briefing.

"Zeus was attacked....by the...Spectre. I was attacked also, but I was able to fend her off. I was too late for Zeus..he.died"

"...Zeus..." said the three.

"Do not worry, it is what Zeus would have wanted. We must carry on our mission. We will destroy the scourge. For Zeus!" said Daelin

"For Zeus!" said the others.

"Because of Zeus' death, I have invited another member to the squad. He is, what you say...our "bomber". Everyone, meet Squee Spleen and Spoon. The Goblin Techies." said Daelin

"Heya everyone! Nice to meet you all! I'm Squee, the leader of us three." said Squee

"Hey! I'm Spleen! The REAL leader of us three." said Spleen

"No way! Hey guys! I'm Spoon! The REAAAAAL leader of us three! I hide inside this barrel right here." said Spoon, a small goblin that appeared inside a barrel.

"Uhm, yes. Anyways, can I begin mission briefing now?" asked Daelin

"Of course, Daelin" replied everyone.

"Our mission will be to infiltrate the Scourge base. But that is our secondary mission. Our primary mission would be to eliminate the most elite of the Scourge. One by one if it may be. If not, all 5 of us will have to take them all at the same time. I have found that the Lich King is sending a counter force to...well, counter us. Thanks to Rooftrellen's Eyes, we have figured out who these elite members are." said Daelin.

"...No but we will be able to kick Scourge ass, then destroy the Frozen Throne. That's even more fun!" replied Gondar

"Yes, so it seems." said Azwraith

"Anyway, they are as follows -

Mercurial, the Spectre

Terrorblade, the Soul Keeper

Bone Clinkz, the Bone Fletcher

Banehollow, the Lycanthrope

and...their leader..

Nevermore, the Shadow Fiend.

We will each take one of them, no one will be interrupting each other's battles until his battle is finished. Got that?" ordered Daelin

"Sure, whatever" replied everyone.

"We begin in a few hours, ready yourselves."

~~~~Somewhere~~~~

"Rooftrellen, I want you to follow Daelin's group. Protect them. I put my trust in you." said Furion

"Yes, master" replied Rooftrellen

Chapter 2!

The group set out, they reached the scourge forest. It was vast and dark, trees were decaying. Ghouls were patrolling the area, each commanded by necromancers.

Suddenly, Rikimaru had an eerie feeling...as if...someone was watching them.

As he thought to himself, he saw a burning arrow! Moving towards Daelin, Rikimaru quickly reacted and shouted, "Daelin! Look out!" The burning arrow, about to hit Daelin started moving even faster. Daelin was in trouble.

"Thanks for the warning...but..I already knew, I felt it already" said Daelin, as he ducked and let the arrow pass by his head, he rose up and cut the arrow precisely in half with the Tidebringer.

The others were amazed in Daelin's speed, none of them knew that he could move that fast.

Suddenly, infront of the group, A shadow that looked like as if it was burning, appeared. People have given up they're souls to this figure, being too afraid. He is considered a Dark Lord, as his presence frightens the people already. He is Nevermore, the Shadow Fiend.

"Nevermore!" said Daelin

Appeared beside Nevermore, was the figure of an archer.

The figure seemed to be made from bones, and his head was burning, but it did not affect the figure at all.

It was the bone fletcher, Bone Clinkz. He was the one who fired the burning arrow towards Daelin.

*kkkkk* screeched the Bone Clinkz, whom tried to talk.

"The bone...fletcher?! Damnit!" said Daelin to himself.

Suddenly, Nevermore and Bone Clinkz couldn't move.

To they're surprise, the Goblin Techies already planted a mine over at they're side. It was a statis trap. He then blurted out "Get 'em boys!"

"I'll handle this" said Daelin

Daelin rose his sword, in a slow manner.

After which, a geyser appeared from the land where the Bone Clinkz and Nevermore were standing. They were both affected.

Once they got down, he slashed the two elites, killing them in the process.

"No, this isn't right....Daelin! Do not move anymore! Those are mere illusions. I've noticed they've left something" said Rikimaru

when the illusions died, the bodies were gone, and replaced with a cloud of dust.

"This is the...Manta Style?" asked Azwraith

"Yes, take it Azwraith, it will help you even more." replied Daelin

"Rikimaru, that was smart of you" said Gondar

"Thanks, I guess" replied Rikimaru

"Alright people, lets go." ordered Daelin

They ventured deeper into the forest, with the Manta Style in they're hands.

Chapter 3

They ventured deeper into the forest, killing ghouls and necromancers when they pass by them. They were dead tired. They decided to rest for a while.

"How long until we reach the Scourge base?" asked Rikimaru

"Around 2 hours after we rest for around 1 hour." replied Gondar

As Gondar replied to Rikimaru, the decayed trees in the Scourge forest started falling. They heard the sound of a wolf's howl.

Appeared behind the tree that Azwraith was sitting on, was a mysterious figure. The figure had a cape, he was a very powerful looking creature. Rikimaru and the others thought, that they should have said they're prayers already.

"My patience has ended." said the figure.

He destroyed the tree with a swing of his fist, and he became visible to the group. He was Banehollow, the Lycanthrope.

"Azwraith! Get out of there!" shouted the three goblins.

Azwraith tried to run, as he run, he thinked. He thought that using a dopplewalk was the best thing to do, and so he did.

Azwraith then moved behind Banehollow to be able to attack him properly...but...he suddenly appeared, causing the dopplewalk illusion to go away, and Banehollow finding the real him. Azwraith jumped, raised his spear and a green beam suddenly appeared from the edge of the lance. It was the Spirit Lance.

Banehollow was pained by this move, and was crippled for a few seconds. Rikimaru then threw a Smokescreen on where Azwraith and Banehollow were.

Azwraith got out, but Banehollow couldn't. The Smokescreen disappeared, and so did the group...or so did Banehollow think. He looked back, he saw Daelin, who rose his sword. Soon, after a few moments, Banehollow was already flying in the air. Gondar was a bounty hunter. He had something that could kill anyone with. He had a giant shuriken. He told Rikimaru to ride the Shuriken as he throws it. Rikimaru rode the shuriken.

Gondar tossed the Shuriken, obviously hitting Banehollow. Rikimaru then appeared behind Banehollow, slashing him until he reached the ground. As Banehollow reached the ground, Rikimaru went out of the way immediately...as Banehollow unleashed two shadow wolves.

"I...I....I'm...hurt...yeeaaarrgghhhhhhhhh!!!!" screamed Banehollow.

Banehollow turned pale. He transformed into a wolf, and along with his shadow wolves, he charged the Goblin Techies at top speed. Sad to say, before Banehollow was to lay a paw on the Goblin Techies, a Statis mine had already exploded. The Goblin Techies then planted a few remote mines and 2 land mines.

After planting the mines, everyone went beside the Goblin Techies, and they all said

"Goodbye, Banehollow. That's one down, and 4 to go." said everyone, as Banehollow exploded into nothing.

~~~~Scourge Base~~~~

"King....the Lycanthrope has been defeated....what of which do we do now...?" said a figure in a cloak.

"We will send out Terrorblade and Mercurial to handle them. They are of no challenge to those 2." replied a figure in a giant ice encased throne. It was none other than, the Lich King. The Lich King spoke to the figure telephatically.

"As you wish, my King." replied the figure in a cloak.

The heart was still beating. Gondar went near it to check it out, but as he stared at the heart, the heart flew towards Gondar, constricting him afterwards.

"...Should we help him?" asked Rikimaru

"Leave him be, he should be fine. I think the Heart of Tarasque has found another owner." replied Azwraith.

"The Heart of Tarasque! Of course! How could we forget about that! Gondar's old bones are gonna start feeling young again!" said The Goblin Techies.

As the heart released its constriction on Gondar, it flew towards Gondar's chest, forcing Gondar to absorb the heart.

Gondar felt better than before. As if he was reborn. He knew he was tougher.

"This is amazing. I feel like I have a second life." said Gondar

"Well, what's done is done. Let's move on after resting" said Daelin

The group rested. But as they rested, a conversation began.

"I feel as if someone is watching us." said Rikimaru

"Its a feeling, if it isn't really happening, it isn't true." replied Azwraith.

"Your probably right, but we would best be careful" replied Rikimaru

To they're surprise, Daelin was gone, but he left a note saying

"I'm going to scout. Stay here or I will kill you. -Daelin"

"Idiot." said Gondar.

~~Somewhere~~

"Master, should I finish them off? Holding the Butterfly isn't as easy as it seems. I have to use soon" said a figure.

The figure was of a glowing purple mist, but it formed a shape. It was an avatar. An avatar of vengeance. It was holding a chakram, as sharp as multiple swords combined. It was also holding the Butterfly. The Butterfly was unknown to the sentinel, only to the scourge. It was Mercurial. The Spectre.

"You have to wait, Mercurial. When Terrorblade attacks those fools, you will have to betray him. I want you to fight with the other 2 elites that I am waiting for. Terrorblade's death will not be in vain." said the Lich King.

"What?! I am just to be killed?!" whispered Terrorblade to himself.

Terrorblade was a shady figure.The two horns and wings on his back resembles a Demon, as he walks, flames appear. He was indeed a being from the Scourge. He wields his two moon blades with him all the time, and will do everything to destroy anything he wishes to destroy with them. He was more sinister than the Lich King thought.

As they met, in the middle of corrupted river, a river with flowing impurities.It was defiled.

"Mercurial, I will kill you..." said Terrorblade

"I know of what to happen to you, but what is to happen to me?" replied Mercurial.

Terrorblade glared at Mercurial. He knew anything could happen if he moved, and he knew that he could die.

Mercurial smiled.

"I'm afraid, i'm too strong for you. Terrorblade" said Mercurial

Mercurial formed a dagger, out of nowhere, and hurled it towards Terrorblade. It was fast, but it did not matter.

"Is this all you can do, Mercurial?" said Terrorblade, as he rose his arms, conjuring an image of himself.

The image saw the dagger, and slashed it.The image charged towards Mercurial, but Mercurial is too smart for silly tricks.

Mercurial stepped on the image's head, and jumped high in the air, Mercurial then formed another dagger, and hurled it towards the real Terrorblade.

It was traveling faster this time, without hesitation, Terrorblade slashed it quickly.

To his surprise, Mercurial was above him, only a finger above.As Mercurial landed, she raised her chakram, and aimed at Terrorblade's chest.

Terrorblade knew he would be finished after a slash from Mercurial's chakram.It's size was almost half of Terrorblade's body, and he knew that Mercurial forged the Butterfly, and the Radiance into it. It was a powerful weapon.

"I have to get a hold of it." said Terrorblade.

Terrorblade thought fast, conjuring another image of himself that attacked Mercurial with no hesitation.

Mercurial fell to the ground after an attack from the illusion, and Terrorblade used his moon blades to climb up a hill.

Mercurial could not escape the illusion, it was stronger for some reason.

Terrorblade raised his moon blades, causing a green beam to appear from his chest. The beam went inside Mercurial's chest.

Slowly, Mercurial was weakening. She knew she had to get the beam removed. He had to distract Terrorblade.

She raised her chakram, slashed the illusion, which vanished.

As she did that, she also formed and hurled another dagger towards Terrorblade.

Terrorblade had to put down his arms to destroy the dagger, causing the transferring of strength to be cancelled.

"You are smart, Terrorblade...but..." said Mercurial, as she jumped towards Terrorblade.

Mercurial's chakram started glowing green. Terrorblade has been struck with fear as he saw this.

"The...." whispered Terrorblade to himself.

Mercurial was able to attack Terrorblade in mid-air, and so she did.

To Terrorblade's surprise, he was slashed.. 8 times. Mercurial became faster.

Terrorblade knew, that it was the Butterfly's effects on the chakram.

Terrorblade couldn't withstand the pain, and he conjured another image, fighting Mercurial again. He made it stronger, and he knew that it had a chance against Mercurial.

Mercurial was powerful enough, to take down as many Terrorblades she wanted to, and a mere illusion could not stop her.

As Mercurial slashes the image, her chakram's green glow disappeared.

Terrorblade jumped down from the hill, and raised his two moon blades.

He slashed Mercurial, causing her to fall to the ground.

"I know your secrets Mercurial. You wanted to kill me, and I want to kill you now. There is no escape. One of us will die!" said Terrorblade, as he slashed Mercurial again.

"Hurt me all you want, you will still die." replied Mercurial.

"ENOUGH!" shouted Terrorblade.

Terrorblade was filled with anger, he curled himself, causing a dark aura to envelop his whole body.

Mercurial was surprised, she HAS to stop it. Or else, it will be the end of her.

Terrorblade was metamorphing. He has finished, he looked like a demon. He was flying. He knew it's the end of Mercurial. But to Mercurial, it wasn't Terrorblade's Metamorphosis.

His eyes weren't of the red glow anymore. It turned blue.

"Terrorblade...you...absorbed the Eye of Skadi?!" asked Mercurial

"You will die, you need not ask questions anymore." replied Terrorblade, as he fired a blue beam towards Mercurial.

Mercurial's movement was slowing down, she couldn't run.

Terrorblade conjured an image, making Mercurial's sufferings, even more painful.

As Terrorblade and his image kept on firing towards Mercurial, an arrow appeared infront of Terrorblade. His image fired the arrow, defending Terrorblade from it.

"Terrorblade, end this nonsense." whispered a dark voice.

"Shut up, or you will die also." replied Terrorblade.

"Consider yourself, dead." replied the dark voice.

Mercurial rose, with her chakram glowing yellow and black. It was the Radiance this time, and she wore the Helm of the Dominator to be able to steal Terrorblade's life force as she attacks.

She slashed Terrorblade, making him hit a nearby hill. She was merciless. She didn't stop.

Mercurial raised her chakram, and another Mercurial appeared before Terrorblade. Both Mercurial's chakrams were of green again, still yellow and black.

Terrorblade was dying, he only had one last breath left. He used it, to continue living, to serve the Lich King, and prove himself, the most honored elite in the Scourge.

He touched Mercurial, and a green and black beam appeared from Terrorblade's arm, continuing towards Mercurial. It was Terrorblade's last trick. Sunder.

They exchanged life forces, and Terrorblade shoved Mercurial out of his way, and finished him off with a shot of the blue beam.

Mercurial was dead, her body dispersed.

~~~somewhere~~~

"Daelin...was really the Spectre all along?" said Rikimaru.

"Then this was all a set-up. He killed Zeus. He killed his own allies, for the sake of the Lich King?" said Azwraith.

"We must press on. Let's go." said Gondar.

~~~back at river~~~

"Mercurial's chakram....it did not disperse into nowhere." said Terrorblade.

Terrorblade returned to his normal form, picked up the chakram.

Terrorblade chanted a spell, and from the chakram, two swords appeared.

He put the green sword on his left moon blade, and the yellow sword to his right moon blade.

He was now more powerful than before. He wielded both The Butterfly, and the Radiance.

"Ultimate...power!" shouted Terrorblade

~~~somewhere~~~

"Mercurial died. She was killed by Terrorblade, and now...we praise him, instead of killing him. We knew of Mercurial's dark actions, and now..she is no longer a threat." said the dark voice.

"Very well, then we shall proceed with the plan as normal." said another voice.

As they looked everywhere again, they gazed upon a pillar of light appearing below the goblin techies.

It was a pillar of souls, a shadowraze. They knew, that only one person could inflict such damage in a matter of seconds. It was Nevermore.

They looked everywhere, looking for Nevermore, but couldn't find him.

The goblin techies had stopped screaming.

Infront of them, Nevermore appeared once again.

"Nngh..YOU!" blurted out the goblin techies.

The goblin techies, stood up, and rushed rowards Nevermore.

"Suicide" said Squee"Squad" said Spleen"GO!!!" said Spoon

There was a big explosion...they knew that the Goblin Techies had the capacity to suicide, but never thought that they would do it. They've lost another ally.

"A waste, indeed." said Nevermore, surprisingly, was still alive.

"You bastard!" said Rikimaru.

Rikimaru was charging towards Nevermore, but Nevermore raised his arms, shadowrazing again. But this time, Rikimaru knew where it would appear, and dodged it. Nevermore did it again twice, but Rikimaru dodged them all.

"Interesting..but you cannot beat me. My presence alone, has granted you, the deathwish of fear." said Nevermore, as he backed away from Rikimaru.

"I don't think so!" said a voice.

Gondar appeared behind Nevermore, about to slash Nevermore.

"....I don't think so too." replied Nevermore.

Out of nowhere, Gondar was shot by a burning arrow, it hit his stomach, causing him to fall to the ground.

"Bone Clinkz!" said Azwraith, as he charged towards the bone fletcher.

Azwraith rose his lance, and it started glowing blue.

The blue color symbolized the powers of Manta Style activating.

Azwraith disappeared, and 3 Azwraiths appeared instead. The three Azwraiths all shot a green beam from the lance, moving towards Bone Clinkz, it was the same beam as before, but it seemed more powerful. The three beams hit Bone Clinkz, but he was not affected. The images rushed towards Bone Clinkz, as another Azwraith from behind, fired the green beam from before. This one also hit the Bone Clinkz, but it damaged the Bone Clinkz, and has crippled it.

"My precious souls, your power is needed! Form a requiem, my souls!" said Nevermore, as he rose his two arms.

From below, a requiem of souls appeared, this hit all 3 of them. [Gondar, Rikimaru, Azwraith]Bone Clinkz backed away from the original Azwraith, since the requiem destroyed the images.

"Rikimaru! Catch!" said the dying Gondar.

Rikimaru caught a mask, which moved by itself. The mask took hold of Rikimaru's face, but he knew it was for a good reason. He let it.

"Vladmir's offering? This is bad." said Nevermore.

Nevermore backed away, firing the pillars of souls once more, this time, it hit both of them [Azwraith, Rikimaru].

Azwraith was in pain, and knew that he could die if Bone Clinkz were to shoot him.He needed to live. He had to avenge Zeus. He had to avenge the goblin techies.

Azwraith jumped towards Bone Clinkz, and fired another green beam towards it. The beam hit the Bone Clinkz, and appeared from it, another Azwraith.

The Azwraith that fired the beam attacked the Bone Clinkz, slashing it. Bone Clinkz fell down a hill, and as it was falling, Azwraith fired another beam.

It was his last.

"You cannot be forgiven for the sins you have atoned to the Scourge. You will die." said Nevermore, as he raised his arms, sending another round of the pillar of souls.

Azwraith's body had exploded, or so what Nevermore thought.

Gondar was moving, but Gondar was still unconscious. It was Azwraith, but he was invisible so Nevermore couldn't see him. It was a dopplewalk that Nevermore killed. Nevermore wondered.

"Stop daydreaming or you'll fail to live for another battle, Idiot!" said Rikimaru, as he was moving towards Nevermore, who had no energy left for battle since he had used most of it against Azwraith.

"We've been outsmarted, but I will not die in vain!" said Nevermore.

He fired gray beams, and as Rikimaru looked at them, souls were inside. He saw the soul of Goblin Techies and Daelin in one of them, and this enraged Rikimaru.

He dodged that certain beam, and suddenly, he was already behind Nevermore.

It was an opening, he raised his sword, slitting Nevermore's throat. Nevermore was going to die. He had one last thing to say, "Terrorblade, has the ultimate power in the Scourge. He is...the strongest elite there is. And even if you kill him, the Lich King has already sent more elites to fight against you. You will not survive your mission. Even if you get a hold of the most legendary items there are." said Nevermore, with his last breath.

Nevermore fell to the ground, and the fight was over.

"*cough*Are you guys okay?" asked Rikimaru

"I wasn't much of a help, but i'm alive." replied Gondar

"Me too...but it wasn't easy." also replied Azwraith.

They all sat, they needed a rest, if they didn't they'd die if anything attacked them.

"We have to be careful. There are only 3 of us left, and we have to stick together." said Rikimaru, as night appeared.

~~~somewhere~~~

"Lich King, your Nevermore and Bone Clinkz has died. What am I to do?" asked Terrorblade

"You will be next to fight, but you will be fighting with the other elites I have sent." said the Lich King

"I will do my best. To serve." replied Terrorblade.

Chapter 7

They recovered from their rest, and went to move on into a Scourge outpost.

“An outpost, obviously there will be elites guarding this place.” Said Gondar.

They moved a bit farther, but enough to see vision of what’s going on.

They saw two figures talking to each other, the other had a mace while the other had a chakram.

“The Lich King sent me to guard this outpost, and I presume you’re my partner?” said one of the figures.

“Yes, I am your partner and I heard that there were 3 of them. Do you think we can handle them?” said the other figure.

“Hmm, yes of course. Luckily, I’ve told the Lich King that the probability of us needing backup is of a 95%. We’ll need all the help we can get, considering this job can get us killed any time we want.” Said the first figure.

This shocked the three heroes, as they moved back, needing allies.

“As far as I know, they’re probably behind us right now, they could kill us at any time.” Said the other figure.

That gave the heroes an idea, but what if they were just setting them up?

They couldn’t resist. They had to go and kill them. They knew they would be safe.

“I’ll go behind them, as you see, I’m invisible always and only my allies can see me. I’ll give you a signal when to charge and attack. Stay invisible until I set up a smoke screen. Got it?” ordered Rikimaru

“Yeah.” Replied Gondar and Azwraith.

“Who do you think will the Lich King send for us?” said the figure with the mace.

As Rikimaru went nearer, he saw nothing but a faceless void with a mace, and a floating chakram.

“What the….” Rikimaru whispered to himself.

“Hmm, yes of course, I’ve always wondered about that. Possibly the Lightning Revenant and the Magnataur will be sent to us.” Replied the floating chakram.

Rikimaru pointed his fingers toward the pointing chakram and the faceless void, and Azwraith and Gondar knew what to do.

Rikimaru threw a Smoke Screen in the middle of the two Scourge elites, and he saw the true figure of the floating chakram.

It was a night elf, but that night elf looked like as if it was filled with hatred. It’s self was blurred, and cannot be seen. It was a night elf warden.

Rikimaru knew of an elite from the Sentinel called the Vengeful Spirit, and heard that a night elf warden, so called her sister, killed her and Elune granted her to be a Spirit.

The warden held a large chakram, that seemed floating a while ago. It was Mortred. The Phantom Assasin.

He backstabbed the Phantom Assasin, causing more pain than his usual slashes, but the Phantom Assasin went out of the smoke screen, attacking Rikimaru at the same time.

Azwraith and Gondar began they’re battle with the Faceless Void with Azwraith throwing a spirit lance and Gondar tossing his shuriken.

The two weapons hit the Faceless Void but it didn’t seem to do any damage.

“Fools! Do you not know who I am? I am a master of time! I can go back in time enough to dodge your attacks! You will not survive against me!” bragged the Faceless Void

“Shut up!” replied Gondar.

Azwraith and Gondar went invisible.

An Azwraith suddenly attacks from the disappearing Smokescreen, and the Faceless Void smashed the Azwrait’s head with his mace. It exploded into a cloud, it was an illusion.

Suddenly, the Faceless Void felt two slashes to his back, and a lance piercing through his body.

He couldn’t handle the pain. He didn’t know that they were THAT strong.

Azwraith’s lance started glowing blue, he then blurred and 2 images of him appeared. Azwraith used the Manta Style.

Gondar’s first blade started glowing purple, and the other seemed to shine. The Faceless Void recognized those glows, and he knew he was in trouble. It was the Sange and Yasha that Gondar had before he even joined the Sentinels.

The Faceless void raised his arms, and advanced time so that he could run away from the two, but the weapons were stuck in his body, and Azwraith and Gondar experienced a Time Walk. They became slower due to the impact of Faceless Void suddenly appearing, and the Faceless Void raised his arms again, he a blue sphere appeared from the ground.

It was a Chronosphere. Azwraith and Gondar couldn’t move, as if that time was stopped in the Chronosphere, and it was. But the Faceless Void could only use it for a matter of seconds.

As this was happening, the fight between Mortred and Rikimaru continued on, until Mortred hurled a dagger towards Rikimaru. It hit Rikimaru and he seemed to start moving slower.

Mortred suddenly appeared behind Rikimaru and slashed Rikimaru, but Rikimaru realized that it was the same Blink Strike he had. He then did the same, but this time, instead of just slashing Mortred, he automatically pierced his blade through Mortred’s body.

The blade was found on Mortred’s chest, and Mortred did 1 final slash. This slash was more powerful than before, and suddenly got Rikimaru kneeling to the ground. Rikimaru took his blade, and tried to rise, he succeeded and slit Mortred’s throat. He then fell and couldn’t move.

Meanwhile, the Chronosphere was about to end, and the Faceless Void was far away already. It disappeared and Azwraith and Gondar rushed towards the wounded Faceless Void, they knew that they couldn’t catch up, and Azwraith decided to cripple the Faceless Void. He threw another Spirit Lance, but this time, he was running while he did it.

It hit the Faceless Void for real this time, and the Faceless Void was mad. He put on a mask, and he started going insane, it was a mask of madness. His mace started glowing of a copper-like complexion, and went towards Azwraith and Gondar.

It was the Buriza-do-Kyanon.

The Faceless Void’s hits started becoming stronger, and the two were gravely wounded in instants. Gondar threw a Shuriken at the Faceless Void, and slashed him a few more times, while Azwraith sent another Spirit Lance and using the Manta Style one last time for the illusions to fight against The Faceless Void. Soon, the Faceless Void was too tired to attack, and fell to the ground. Gondar rose, and cut open the Faceless Void’s body, and Azwraith pierced through the heart.

They took the mace, and went to where Rikimaru was.

They chanted a spell to remove something from the mace, and appeared was a sword-like weapon. They saw Rikimaru who was sleeping, took his blade, and forged the sword-like weapon into Rikimaru’s blade. The blade was now forged with the Buriza-do-Kyanon.But a few minutes later, lightning struck near where Rikimaru was sleeping.A floating figure came out of the shadows, along with a Magnataur.

Azwraith and Gondar didn’t know what to do. With both of them tired, and Rikimaru asleep, they didn’t know what to do.

“I’m too tired to fight and run…take Rikimaru and run for it.” Replied Azwraith

“What?! No! I’m not leaving anyone behind!” said Gondar.

“But…you have to! You’re the only one with enough energy to run. While Rikimaru’s asleep, we can’t do anything. He’s probably dead tired too. Look at those wounds on him. I’ll live…somehow. Trust me.” Replied Azwraith.

“You better live. Or I’ll kill Rikimaru, and never forgive you.” Said Gondar.

“Thanks.” Replied Azwraith as he chants a spell to remove something from his lance.

He took Rikimaru’s blade and forged an axe-like weapon onto the blade.

The blade was forged with the Manta Style.

“Go!” said Azwraith.

Gondar took Rikimaru and ran far away from their current location.

“A foolish sacrifice. They’re going to die. Regardless of what you do.” Said the floating figure.

“What do you mean? I told them to run, but sure, are they gonna follow my orders? I’m not the leader of the group you see. They’re going to hunt you Scourge down, and tear you all apart. Piece by piece.” Said Azwraith.

“You fool. You die.” Said the Magnataur as the Magnataur swung his halberd releasing a ripple in the ground. A shockwave hit Azwraith’s body directly. Azwraith’s body exploded, and the floating figure and the Magnataur pressed on.

“Magnus, when we get to fight the two Sentinel fools left, I want you to send your shockwaves whenever possible. Even if they go invisible, they’ll still get hit by the shockwave. So got it?” said the floating figure.

“Yes. Master Razor” said Magnus, the Magnataur.

~~~somewhere~~~

“Master Furion . . . It seems that Daelin was the Spectre, and the Goblin Techies has suicided trying to kill an enemy. There are only 3 of them left. ….wait, let me rephrase that. There are only 2 of them left. Gondar and Rikimaru. They are being chased by two elites from the scourge. The lightning revenant and the magnataur. In the path they are going, there appears to be a Necrolyte and a Lich guarding the path. They need serious help. Who should we send?” asked a gigantic tree-figure.

Gondar fell to the ground, with Rikimaru still on his back, but of course, the two Scourge elites couldn’t see him.

Suddenly, Gondar’s body was surrounded with vines, wood and leaves. As the Lich shot a bolt of ice towards Gondar, the vines deflected the attack. It was just like Living Armor. Gondar suddenly regained his strength and was able to stand up. Rikimaru was also surrounded with Living Armor.

But who did this?

“Bounty Hunter…move behind me..” said Rooftrellen who appeared behind the two Scourge elites.

“What? NO! I won’t allow this! You won’t get out of this forest….alive!” said the angered Necrolyte

The Necrolyte raised his staff, and floating skulls went around. They were all targeting Gondar. The Lich also had to make a move. He raised his arms, and a cold aura enveloped his hands.The Lich was going to send it towards Gondar.

“I don’t have enough energy to wind walk…” said Gondar

“Stick near a tree! They will keep you invisible” said Rooftrellen

Rooftrellen closed his eyes and suddenly, Gondar was gone from the Necrolyte and the Lich’s vision.

The cold aura was a frost nova that just randomly hit the ground, while the floating skulls also hit the ground where Gondar disappeared.

Suddenly, a spear appeared behind Rooftrellen, it was traveling at a fast pace, and was about to hit the Necrolyte. The Necrolyte dodged the spear, and looked at Rooftrellen. Knowing that Rooftrellen had no capacity to throw spears, he wondered. “Where did the spear come from?”

Another spear appeared behind Rooftrellen but this time, it was burning. It went towards the Lich.Again, it was evaded easily, but the flame didn’t douse. This scared the Lich.

“Rooftrellen, where be those peoples we suppose’ to rescue e?” asked a troll-like voice.

“Patience…he is protected by nature..” replied Rooftrellen.

Appeared behind Rooftrellen was a shadow of a troll. It looked like a troll headhunter, but it really wasn’t. The troll like figure carried a spear, and a bag with around a thousand spears. Surprisingly, he could carry them all. He seemed to be a very powerful yet calm figure, just like Rooftrellen. He was Huskar. The Sacred Warrior.

“Oh? So you won’t fight? Then we will begin the fight. You…will…die.” Said the Lich.

The Lich raised his arms again, and another cold aura enveloped his hands, and threw this aura, and another frost nova appeared. Rooftrellen and Huskar were able to dodge it in time, but the Necrolyte raised his staff and the floating skulls appeared and hit both of them.

“That..was..fast..” said Rooftrellen.

“They’re not fast…your just slow!” replied Huskar as he took spears from his bag and threw then towards both the Lich and the Necrolyte. Each one of them was burning, and obviously, would hurt if they were to hit. Most of them hit the Lich, but the Necrolyte knew what to do about this.

The Necrolyte raised his staff once more, and two floating skulls appeared. The first one hit Huskar again, but the other one went towards the Lich. After the Lich was hit, the Lich regained his strength to fight again.

“Huskar! ….. I can’t use it yet, but atleast let me help you!” said Rooftrellen as he raised his arms, causing a Living Armor to surround Huskar.

Huskar rose, and looked at the ground. As he glared at the Necrolyte, he was surrounded by a green aura. He seemed to regain his strength and could fight until he doesn’t want to anymore.

“You ain’t gettin’ outta tis place alive.” Said Huskar.

Huskar’s spears were still burning, and this time, he equally split the damage between the Lich and the Necrolyte. They were more powerful and even faster than before. As if the berserker within was awakened inside Huskar, and it’s madness was released onto his enemies.

“Rrrruaaagh!” said a voice from the forest.

Huskar who was still throwing his spears saw a ripple on the ground and was fast enough to jump away from it. As he looked down, Magnus and Razor were already there.

“Damnit! Where’s Lina?” said Huskar to himself.

Razor raised his mace-like weapon, and lightning was surging out of it, surrounding the mace.Suddenly, lightning came out of the mace, aiming towards Huskar.

This lightning wasn’t ordinary. It was of red color, and a ball of lightning was following it.The red lightning had already hit Huskar, but nothing happened, but when the ball hit, Huskar was affected by the lightning. He knew he had to dodge the ball..but how….?

Huskar had fallen from his jump, and started throwing his spears towards Razor.

As Rooftrellen ran towards The Lich and The Necrolyte to smash they’re heads, but he seemed too slow. The two needed Lina’s help. Badly. As he looked at the wounded Huskar, he suddenly became cold…and weaker all of a sudden. Before he knew it, he was already hit with the Frost Nova and the floating skulls. As he looked at the Lich and the Necrolyte, he was in pain, and knew that he could get killed. “Damnit…. Lina…where…are…you?” whispered Rooftrellen to himself.

As he looked at the ground, he was suddenly sent flying towards some bushes and as Huskar said, he was just too slow. “Another shockwave…? This isn’t going as planned.” Whispered Rooftrellen to himself.

~~~flashback~~~

“Rooftrellen, take this. It’s Kelen’s dagger. I found it near Zeus’ dead body. Use it well.” Said Furion

“Thank you…master” replied Rooftrellen

~~~end flashback~~~

“That’s it! I have to use Kelen’s dagger!” said Rooftrellen.

Rooftrellen took out a dagger from a pocket in his tree-like body, and held onto it well.

Huskar was alone, against 4 elites, and knew he could die. But he didn’t panic. He knew he would live to destroy the Scourge.

“I wish I could help them…but I’m too weak to fight…and so is Rikimaru, but he’s still asleep. I have to stay out of this fight” said the invisible Gondar to himself.

Suddenly, a burst of flames appeared behind Huskar and was aimed towards the Lich, the Necrolyte, and Magnus.

“Shit!” shouted Razor

The three were gravely wounded by the burst of flames, and once Rooftrellen saw this, he threw the dagger towards the center, where everybody was.

“Now!” said Rooftrellen

Rooftrellen looked at the ground, and lay his arms at the ground. Suddenly, the 4 Scourge elites were trapped in strong vines that could suffocate them. It was an overgrowth.

Behind Huskar, appeared a human-like floating figure. Surrounded in flames, and was a … female. It was Lina Inverse. The Slayer.

“Miss me?” asked Lina sarcastically as she raised her arms, and suddenly, the Lich, the Necrolyte and Magnus was surrounded in flames that caused to lose consciousness.

Razor, powerless, could do nothing but watch his allies fall in despair.

The Lich regained his consciousness, and raised his arms and suddenly, a cloud of ice appeared and went towards Lina.

Rooftrellen knew about the Lich freezing multiple people at the same time, and decided to make Lina invisible to protect her, and he did the same with Huskar. Due to Rooftrellen’s actions, the Lich’s cloud of ice was useless.

Lina appeared again, and summoned another burst of flames, but this time, it was in the shape of a dragon. It was frightening, and as soon as she formed it, she aimed towards the three [Lich,Necrolyte,Magnus] as they got hit, the vines burned but they were still in pain. (Razor’s vines haven’t burned yet)

Magnus was furious. He knew he had to kill one of them, atleast anyway.

He wielded his halberd with both hands at the center, and raised it the farthest he can.With all his strength left, he hit the ground where he was standing, causing a disruption in the gravity and pulling everyone to the middle [Huskar,Lina,Rooftrellen] It was a last trick he had, and because of this, they was surprised and weren’t able to move for a short period of time. Magnus used this time to send another shockwave, but he missed due to his lack of strength to fight. The Lich then sent a frost nova, while the Necrolyte was sending his floating skulls again.

Rooftrellen was gravely wounded, and couldn’t handle the pain.

Razor’s vines were removed, and raised his mace and blue lightning came out and hitting each one of them [Lina,Huskar,Rooftrellen]

The Necrolyte saw that Rooftrellen was gravely wounded, and took something from his back. A scythe-looking weapon. He raised it, and suddenly, Rooftrellen’s life force lessened. Rooftrellen could die with a kick, and he was afraid of it. But Huskar knew what to do.

He touched Rooftrellen, and suddenly, Rooftrellen had the same green aura surrounding him, and Rooftrellen’s life force went back to him.

“Useless Scourge.” Said Huskar, as he began throwing his spears again towards the Necrolyte

The Necrolyte couldn’t handle anymore, and just fell and died.

Lina raised her arms again, and surrounded the Lich and Magnus with flames that caused to them to be knocked out unconscious again. She raised her arms again, and sent the flames shaped like a dragon and aimed towards Razor. Both of the flames hit, and for her last spell, she raised arms, and aimed at Razor. A bolt suddenly went out of her hands, and caused Razor extreme damage. Razor couldn’t handle it, and his whole body broke apart, and was turned to dust. It was the Laguna blade. Lina made Razor look useless.

The Lich was still alive and well, and started running away. But Huskar was too fast for the Lich, and he couldn’t escape. He touched the Lich, and suddenly, the Lich’s life force broke down.

“Life break” said Huskar.

The Lich started moving slower again, and Huskar threw his spears. As soon as the Lich fell to the ground, Huskar sent one last burning spear, and the Lich was dead.

“No! My allies!...I will join you soon…but first I will kill!” shouted the furious Magnus as he raised his halberd and sent another shockwave towards Rooftrellen.

Rooftrellen simply absorbed the shockwave and ran towards Magnus. Once he arrived, he punched Magnus’ head causing an internal bleeding, and Magnus fell unconscious. Lina then finished it off with another dragon-like flame towards Magnus.

The battle was over. They won, but couldn’t have done it easily. It was a long battle fought hard.

As Gondar looked behind him, he saw a face he thought he would never see again.

“Azwraith! Your alive, and you look ready to fight again. What happened?” asked Gondar as he saw Azwraith, alive and well.

“I was about to get killed, but my strength suddenly went back to me and I was able to fool them with an illusion. While looking for you guys, I saw a stash of Healing Salves and some Clarity potions. I drank some and now I’m prepared to fight. I even brought back some of them.” Replied Azwraith

“That’s good news, Azwraith.” Said Lina, as she introduced Rooftrellen and Huskar to him.

…..Meanwhile….

“Fools! How could they die at a time like this? Thanks to them, our outpost will be destroyed in a few hours! We need to send better elites, Lich King.” Said Terrorblade

“Worry not, Terrorblade. I have sent true elites this time. Those with potential more than you can imagine.” Replied the Lich King.

“It better be.” Said Terrorblade as he glared at the frozen throne.

“Tell me, Terrorblade. Have you heard of a Bloodseeker? How about a Nerubian Weaver? And what about a Warlock? Shadow priests? Geomancers?” asked the Lich King

“No. Why?” answered Terrorblade

“The next battle. Watch carefully. It WILL be amusing.” Replied the Lich King

…………………….

The Sentinel elites have rested and are now ready to set out, not to destroy the outpost, but to infiltrate the Scourge base.

“Is Rikimaru awake yet?” asked Azwraith

“I am, I am.” Replied Rikimaru

“Glad to hear he’s finally awake. I thought he was done for from the size of that wound I saw.” Said Huskar.

“A warden almost cut my body in half. I’m lucky enough that I lived and my body isn’t being eaten by ghouls yet.” Said Rikimaru

“When will we set out?” asked Lina Inverse

“At this rate, tomorrow. Night will fall in a hour, and we cant infiltrate the Scourge base at night. It would be suicide. Am I right, Rikimaru?” replied Rooftrellen

“Yes. It’d be best to strike at morning.” Said Rikimaru

“That’s settled then. Shall we call it a day and sleep?” asked Gondar“Yeah. I agree.” Replied Huskar.

----------A few hours later. Everyone asleep.--------------

Huskar was snoring loud. The bonfire was glowing brightly. Rikimaru gazed upon it, as he gazed upon the stars as well.

“Rikimaru. I know that you are afraid of dying.” Said a voice.

“What the? Who’s there?! ANSWER ME!” asked Rikimaru

“I am….your….DOOM!” answered the voice, as the forest’s trees suddenly burned, and crumbled to ashes.

“Who are you?” asked Rikimaru, as he took out his blade.

A large figure suddenly appeared infront of Rikimaru, and Rikimaru felt a chill in his spine.

Rikimaru wielded his blade tight, and was reaching in for his pocket. As soon as he saw the figure’s form, he got a smoke bomb from his pocket and threw it at the ground.

He saw the figure of a doom bringer. It was familiar to him. He had to kill the doom bringer infront of him. But he was alone. The moment he gets doomed, it’s over. He had to be careful.

As soon as the smoke bomb exploded, he was behind the unseeing doom bringer. He slashed the figure about 4 times, and went away.

The doom bringer could not see Rikimaru, as he was invisible.

Rikimaru raised his blade, and it revealed his position. He suddenly appeared behind the Doom Bringer, slashing him at the same time. The doom bringer had enough of Rikimaru’s peskiness, and raised his arm.

Rikimaru was suddenly enveloped in a red glow, he couldn’t go invisible, he couldn’t get his smoke bombs, he couldn’t appear behind anyone.

He was doomed.

Chapter 10

As the others were sleeping, Rikimaru was fighting the Doom Bringer, and to his extent, he was doomed.

“Shit, am I gonna die here? Am I gonna end Furion’s legacy to finish the Scourge?...No…I can’t.. I must…not.”

“Foolish Satyr! It ends tonight!” shouted Lucifer.

“No!” said Rikimaru, as he slashed the Doom Bringer, so that if he will die, he has atleast wounded a Scourge Elite.

“I will now, I have found a weapon, to end the Lich King’s reign, and our brother’s misery.” Replied the voice.

“How are you sure that I won’t die?” asked Rikimaru

“Take this shield, as you notice, your allies are sleeping. But they are not. They are merely illusions, and we went off to slay Roshan. Now I have teleported here, to check on you.” Said the voice.

“Shield? Roshan? The Aegis? ….Thank you Furion, but I will still die, but for now, lets inflict more damage before the Aegis activates.” Replied Rikimaru

As Furion appeared, the Doom Bringer was in shock, he raised his hand, and a red ball exploded in front of Furion. He fell to the ground, and quickly rose, and raised his oak staff.

In the blink of an eye, the Doom Bringer was surrounded in trees.

The Doom Bringer raised his hand, and the land below him started burning. The fire could not incarnate the trees, he had to wait for them to disappear.

Rikimaru went inside the sprout of trees, and he and the Doom Bringer attacked each other with each other’s blades.

Furion was attacking the Doom Bringer too, as he waved his staff, a glowing green ball went towards the Doom Bringer, inflicting pain in each ball.

A few moments later, the Doom Bringer got out of the sprout of trees, and raised his arm again, to send an exploding ball infront of Furion again, to get him down for a while.

Furion couldn’t stand up. He saw that a net covered up his body. He looked to his side, and 4 figures appeared.

They all looked the same, and as Furion was about to escape the net, another one flew towards him.

The 4 figures were nearing. Furion raised his staff, and trapped the 4 of them in a sprout of trees.

He was about to escape again, but another net flew towards him.

The sprout was about to end, he raised his ataff, and pointed it towards some trees.

The trees disappeared, and treants appeared. The treants formed a wall around Furion, so that he’ll be able to escape.

As he was about to move out, another net flew towards him! Furion was enraged. He raised his staff, and pointed it towards the 4 figures, who escaped out of the sprout of trees.

He saw 4 Kobolds running towards him.

A green beam appeared from his staff, and was spread out through the 4 Kobolds. Like a chain.

Suddenly, a red ball exploded in front of Rikimaru also. He had to save Rikimaru, but as Furion was about to run towards Rikimaru, he started moving slower, and his body was in pain.

As he looked down, the 4 Kobolds were attacking him already. They were fast and strong. It was the worst seconds of his life.

As the Doom Bringer glared at Rikimaru, he raised his sword. As he was about to slash…

Rikimaru’s heart stopped beating.

Chapter 11

As the Doom Bringer was about to slash Rikimaru with his gigantic blade, bigger than Rikimaru’s body, he noticed that the doomed Rikimaru had stopped moving.

He knew that he had died.

“BAHAHAHAHA! FOOLISH SATYR! YOU SHALL BE NEXT, OLD FOOL!” said Lucifer, as he faced towards Furion, with a mischievous smile.

As Lucifer looked away, the shield that Furion gave Rikimaru glowed, but Lucifer did not mind it.

“Rikimaru…” said Furion

One more set of attacks from the 4 Kobolds, and Furion will die. But suddenly …

Rooftrellen appeared out of nowhere and laid his arms on the ground.

The 4 Kobolds and Lucifer were entangled by sturdy vines that were overpowering them.

They couldn’t move. As they struggled to set free, Lina appeared with Huskar, Gondar, and Azwraith.

Lina raised her arms, and a rupture of flames appeared below the 4 Kobolds that ended up stunning them.

Lucifer managed to raise his arms, and a red ball suddenly exploded in front of Lina.

Lina fell down, as Azwraith saw this, he raised his lance, and a beam appeared from its blade.

The beam went straight to Lucifer, conjuring an Illusion the moment it hit Lucifer.

He ran towards Lucifer, with Gondar behind him.

Gondar glared at Lucifer, and threw a shuriken towards him.

The moment the shuriken hit Lucifer, Lucifer raised his arm and a red ball exploded infront of Lina again.

The 4 Kobolds got out of the overgrowth, and one of them threw a net at Lina, causing her to stay done.

Huskar started throwing his spears at one of the Kobolds, and noticed that the others were getting hurt too.

He thought that if he could kill one of them, maybe all of them will die at once.

He went behind one, and the instant he touched one of them, it fell to the ground. He threw spears at it’s back, hurting it more, and more.

In a flash, it died.

And Huskar’s theory was right. If one of them dies, all of them die.

But enough worrying about that, Lucifer had to be killed, as he had already broke free from the overgrowth, and had almost defeated Gondar and Azwraith the moment he got out.Lucifer kept his mischievous smile all throughout the battle. He had something in his mind.

The land started burning in a blink of an eye.

“Fools! You cannot beat me! I AM LUCIFER!” said Lucifer

Another green beam from Azwraith’s lance appeared, and it hit Lucifer again.

Another shuriken was tossed by Gondar, and it hit Lucifer again.

Lina summoned another rupture of flames beneath Lucifer, and it hit him.

Huskar threw his spears at Lucifer, and they all hit him.

Furion was firing green energy balls at Lucifer, and they all hit him.

Rooftrellen was punching Lucifer with his mammoth fists, and he didn’t budge.

“…What? What…is he?” said Furion

“You will die, 1 by 1!” shouted Lucifer!

“Not if I can help it.” Said Rikimaru, who was already behind Lucifer when he said that.

He threw a smoke bomb, and his blade suddenly started glowing blue.

2 more Rikimarus appeared, and were finally inflicting some damage to Lucifer, but Lucifer wont give up.

He got out of the smoke bomb, and summoned an exploding red ball in front of one of the illusions.

He didn’t know that it was an illusion. It was a longshot to victory.

He reached for a pocket hidden in his armor, and he got a glowing blue scepter.

He raised his arm, holding the scepter. And in a moment, the other illusion started glowing red.

“Doom Bringer…you’re a worthy challenge. Who knew you could kill me once? But you doomed the wrong Rikimaru” said Rikimaru, as Lucifer’s mischievous smile faded away.

“NO! NO! NO! I CANNOT WASTE MY TIME! I HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE! Said the suddenly petrified Doom Bringer

~~somewhere

“He panicked. Ironic. Now HE is doomed.” Said Terrorblade

~~back to the fight

Lucifer dropped his scepter, and he made a run for it.

Furion raised his staff, and a sprout of trees surrounded Lucifer.

Lina picked up the scepter, and channeled Laguna Blade’s power into it.

The moment the channeling had completed, a Laguna Blade came out of the scepter, and finished the Doom Bringer’s life.

“Is that what kept him strong? A scepter? What’s so special about it?” asked Gondar

“It is Aghanim’s scepter. Aghanim was the most powerful wizard in the land. And he managed to channel his powers into the scepter, to improve other wizard’s powers. But sadly, he had died” replied Furion

As they looked at what seemed to be a never ending forest, an explosion appeared behind them.
